Coupla 3 unknown coin/token questions.....

[Chitlin]

I've had these since I was a little kid.... over 30 years anyway...

I'll set myself up for the most disappointment first. This is the one I have the most expectations about. The oldest "dated" material thing I posses... the hole is kind of a bummer but was there when I got it... I'm thinking my granny gave it to me when I was a wee-one.

It is slightly bigger than than the indianhead penny....

Thanks..... sometimes google works for me and sometimes I get bogged....I am of German/ Austrian descent and considering it came from my granny, it's pretty cool.

back later with question # 2, I'm already late because I've been playing with my relics..... :P

...next one... I put the large penny in with it for scale and to show the difference in the orientation of the way the figures are seated on the back..... not much to say about the front other than what you can see....the pictures almost show more detail than in real life... who ever that is sure had a nose on him.... ...anybody recognize it?

It's smaller than the parge penny and bigger than a recent quater.

english old half penny -- looks like king george III time frame --- he was king during rev. war -- the king is facing right -- as the kings swapped out the mint made the coin faces switch sides --- left for one --right for the next --then left again --that and the outline of the profile helps greatly in finding out which one you've got --- often the dates worn off but they can be "era dated" -- king george III half penny where made from ? to ? look it up -- Ivan

....last one for now.... actually I just found this by googling.... so far this is probably the most valuable... and I thought it was "just another token"! 8)
